No, I hadn't thought of that--will have to try that. Thanks!

I just submitted a request to them, keeping my fingers crossed!

Hi Sinamint:

If the Victoria Public Library isn't able to help, you could also try the BC Genealogical Society:

http://www.bcgs.ca

There may be some members from the Saanich area who could help you.
